It's my Moms name, But Ive never known anyone else(other than my Brothers) with that situation. I always thought Florence was uncommon as a name.

I have a cousin named Florence who was born on Feb 29!! She is about 30 years old, but since she was born on leap year, she is like 7 1/2!! How rare is that? A name like Florence born on leap year!!

I have an aunt named Florence. She's in her 80's. I think it was a more common name once than it is now. You know how there are fashions in name. One of her sister's was named Flora, which was awfully close, and I always wondered whether the parent's just ran out of ideas to name them so closely to each other.

Well...one of my grandmas is named Florence...but again, I've never known anyone else with the name either. Must have been popular awhile ago, and fallen out of style, as most names tend to do.

My mom's name was Florence and her mom's name was Flora. It's an older name that you don't hear much anymore. I do happen to work with someone that's in her 30's and she's named Florence.

Out of 1300 people on my family tree, I found only three Florences, and only one related - a first cousin twice removed. The other two were related by marriage, not blood.

Florence Henderson (Brady Bunch); Florence Nightingale.
Not too common now, but maybe it used to be.

If the mom was being raptured, she would be gone instantly, literally "in the blink of an eye." She wouldn't have the opportunity to deny Jesus. The mom would have done everything possible to make sure that her child knew about Jesus, about what it means to be a true Christian believer. She would have taken her child to Sunday School, to Sunday church services. She would have had her child enrolled in a church youth group and/or summer camp, where the child would have learned more about being a believer, and she would have been offered opportunities to accept Jesus as her Lord and Savior. The child may have had opportunities to go to concerts/performances featuring Christian artists. If possible, the mom would have enrolled her child in a private Christian school. The mom would have been praying for her child at least once every day, probably more often. Jesus said that following Him can result in there being a sword separating husband from wife, parent from child. The mom would have known that and would have known that ultimately her child would have been responsible for making her own choice about whether or not to be a Christian believer. Once the mom is raptured, she will be instantly in the presence of Jesus, and all else will fade away as she looks at her Savior face to face, eye to eye. If you are this child, then I pray that Jesus will make Himself known to you so that you have no doubt about who He is and how you can make your choice for Him.

Funny that you should ask that. Florence was my late mother-in-law's name. My wife also has a name similar to hers.
